What happens once the person is registered?

Participants will receive a Clay County Sheriff’s Office vinyl decal to display on or near the front door of your home. Additional decals can be obtained and placed on a vehicle if you wish. A premise note will be added to the home address so that responding deputies will have knowledge of the special needs individual prior to their arrival. When a Clay County Sheriff’s Deputy has contact with a person listed on the registry, our communications center can provide useful information to help the officer successfully interact and communicate with your loved one. The registry can also provide the parent or caregiver’s emergency contact information. Access to this information during an emergency can save valuable time.
